Dolls are reserved via an app that allows hirers to select clothing and hair styles, add-ons such as whips and handcuffs, and to request they come ‘warmed up’; for an extra charge they will make sounds when touched

Clients can even have their date “warmed up” before delivery and, for an extra fee, have them equipped with a device that voices various sounds when manhandled.
